Yup, that’s right…a new job. After a couple weeks of sales at bluefish, I have moved on to something better and more fitting for me. I am now doing editorial support for online newsrooms at Wieck Media. So far, so good…and so far a much better fit…I will tell you more about it down the time once I am more settled in and can give you all a better update!
Yes, a little update never hurt. I (finally) got a job this week. I am a sales representative with bluefishtv! Should be a good job to have while I continue to hunt for something in radio and writing. I figure it will be a good start and a good place to get some money saved up. Plus its a pretty cool company I think.
Also, I am doing some side work with the Dallas Morning News in their sports department. Just some data clerk work really for now. Hopefully I can move on up there in the future.
I will come back later with more updates on how the job is going and all. I may actually, fully update this site all over soon. It needs a redo.
Haha, yeah, I graduated college. Crazy how four years went by so far. I will post photos of it all soon enough once I get photos from everyone…I took my camera but didn’t take any photos with it. Crazy how that works out. Though I did take plenty of photos with other cameras with other people!
Keep your fingers crossed about my job situation. I am waiting to hear back from a couple now! And hopefully more than that!
Yeah, school is done and work is almost done here in Morgantown. The age old question about the job situation post-WVU for me is still going on. Things are looking up, I felt it would go this way towards time for graduation. Jobs are opening up all over more so now than a couple months ago. So that is comforting to a degree and it is just a matter of time before something is in line.
These things take time but something will come up and everyone will know of it. Until then keep praying about it along with me!
Other than school ending and job hunting there is no real news going on to report. Been kinda boring around these parts recently really. But summer is around the corner, as well as Mikey and Jennifer’s wedding in June.
Okay, as many of you know I have been gone for two weeks in Texas trying to find jobs. Though I wasn’t successful at finding anything I did make some contacts that could help me out in the long run.
I felt now would be a good time to post some photos of the new house (some of you have been curious what it turned out to) and some of my Austin photos. So bear with me, there are a lot of photos here.
Enjoy!
My room…still some boxes and tubs…probably will always be like that until I move out…
Hallway to the bathroom and Andrew’s room:

Kitchen:
PeeWee!:
Okay these are from Austin, at Mt. Bonnell overlooking Lake Austin:
Yeah, less than a week away from moving here. I will have the new address posted soon once I remember to actually write it down for a change. I have spent a good majority of this day packing up my junk. I have cleared out my DVD shelf, my night stand shelf that had a lot of books and CDs, and I am almost done with my desk and another shelf.
I have made some progress which is encouraging to me right now. Not to mention the “to-do” list that I have right now I have knocked out a few items on it today which is always nice to do.
Still a long way to go, I felt like taking a break and talking about it on here. I am due a break here today I think. Between laundry, packing, looking for jobs, more packing, more laundry, getting a haircut, more packing, more job hunting and did I mention packing? Yeah. Tomorrow will be a continuation of this as well. Though I will be doing more school work. I have a test to study for an a theater scene to memorize.
Thankfully my break is less than a week away so all is looking well.
Nothing too new going on here…very busy all across the board with class, work, and radio station stuff…and not to mention job searching. I’ve been searching more and more as of late and I have posted my resume on many sites. I am slowly working on a site on here to contain all of my broadcasting samples. I am waiting to get my soccer games on file to cut up here. Once those are up I will let you all know!
Other things going on…this Tuesday at 7 pm (6 CT) I will be traveling to Pittsburgh to do more play-by-play for the women’s basketball team as the will battle with Pitt. This will actually be my third play-by-play game in a row as of late. I called a game yesterday as the ladies defeated USF. I am battling a sore throat right now so if you heard last night’s game, I am sorry, my voice wasn’t the best…but thankfully it is feeling a little better right now. Let’s hope by Tuesday night it will be fine and ready to go.
Lastly on the menu here tonight, we here at 109 Rystan Place will soon be moving into a new house. Yup, a year here in Rystan Place was enough for us all I suppose. I don’t have the address of the new joint but I will have that for you in the coming weeks. Yes, I said weeks…we should be on the move within the next three weeks or so I believe. And by the looks of things it may need more time! Maybe.
Here are some photos of the new place. It is almost done!
to everyone today, thanks for the birthday wishes! they definitely made my day!
So its the end of the year and I figure it is a decent time to reflect on what has transpired in the past calendar year. Amazing to believe and think that 2006 is almost over and that 2007 is just a jump away. Anyways…I have no real order to this list. Some things are life, sports, and just random stuff in my head. I will try to go month by month, if I can. If not, then sue me.
January – Best – Sugar Bowl: The year got kicked off with a major bang as WVU beat Georgia in their own dome to win the Sugar Bowl. For one, it was a great time. And for seconds, WVU actually won a bowl game! Yes, for the second time, no maybe third (I will have to check), WVU actually won a bowl game. Wow.
Best – Rose Bowl – now that was a game…one of the best I've seen in some time.
Worst – No snow in January – seriously, one of the mildest winters I have ever lived through and it was not the coldest of winters either.
Best – Steelers win Super Bowl – Okay, I had trouble putting "best" beside this one but it was a good thing. Bettus got his ring, the entire psycho Steeler nation got their "one for the thumb" and I believe it shut them all up for at least 10 more years. Again, both my team (the 49ers) and some cryboy team in Texas would like to congratulate you on becoming a member in the 5 rings club.
Feburary – Best – My 21st – sure becoming legal to drink is one thing but the random looks from other states when they see the id is always a laugh
Worst – Winter – okay the cold finally came as it normally does…the only bad part was standing in line at the Coliseum for games….
Worst – Mountaineer Manics – its a damn cult really. Peoplpe getting in the building early to save seats. Not just one or two but I am talking like 4 or 5 rows. It was horrible and totally wrong for the people out in the cold.
March – Best – George Mason's run – alright, nothing like a bracket buster pal. I loved it though.
Worst – Cold spring breaks – maybe that is why people go south for those things…
April – Best – Moving into new place – out with the old and in with the new…place…okay that was cheesy but it worked. Got a new townhouse here in town and got rid of an annoying couple who lived together but didn't live together. Oh, and their dog was never fed either.
Best – Honda Civic – getting a new car is always nice…don't ya think?
May – Best – Starting a new internship!!! – Dallas for the summer was great! Seriously…
Alright, I am sorta tired of the month by month thing…so whatever. After summer was fall semester and you have read what has been good and bad in the fall semester. Football, soccer and a girlfriend – good….school, school, and school – have been not soo good.
Here are some final lists that I made up. All mostly sports related I believe.
Male Athlete – Tiger Woods
Female Athlete – Amelie Mauresmo
Best Championship Team – Italy World Cup soccer …so I am biased on the sport…it was the only World Champion on the list really…
Coach of the Year – Jim Larranaga, George Mason basketball
Rookie of the Year – Vince Young, Tennessee Titans
Best Game – USC 41, Texas 38 (Rose Bowl)
Biggest Disappointment – Bode Miller
Biggest Disappointment (Team) – New York Yankees
Most Overrated Story – (Tie) Barbaro and Kobe scoring 81 on the Toronto Raptors
Best Story – "J-Mac" – Autistic kid Jason McElwain scores 24 points in final three minutes of a game
Biggest Goat – Zinedine Zidane
Funniest Movie of the Year – Talladega Nights
Alright…there is my list and best/worsts of the year…you may want to add this list to that but I don't care. I was bored and I thought "why not".
Currently I am in the airport at DFW, soon to board to Detroit and then back to West Virginia. I have been in Dallas visiting Becca and I will return soon with a nice little update about my trip to Dallas to see her and her family.
Merry Christmas everybody!!!
